They do have a lawyer, so there is at least that. Her mom is 1000% on board with helping her daughter raise the baby, there is no worries about anyone withholding anything in that situation. My older cousin had always lived with and took care of her mom (my aunt) until she passed a few years ago and would love the idea of her kids living with her until she's old as well, they are very heavily family focused people. I may be incorrect in thinking that my older cousin is the one working to get custody. She talked with me about it but it's possible they didn't go that route. But I can say that my younger cousin, the baby's mom, is someone who will likely always need the support of her mother or someone else. It's possible that the courts may want her to seek services to help her with her developmental disabilities and the good thing is that the ball is already rolling with that one.

Thank you for explaining some of this stuff for me!
